They go on your payroll and you direct them like any employee. You pay for three things, and each one stays a separate line: our placement fee, the agents by the month, and the person's own pay.
The work done, a named person who owns it, and freed hours that are yours to point at other work.
Transactions categorized, every bank and card account reconciled, month-end closed and financial statements in your hands by the 10th. The same list your posting asked for.
Agents do the entries Person closes and signs offYou pick the person from named candidates, with real resumes. They check every piece of the agents' work and own the results: accurate books, and the month closed on time.
Owns the result, with controlThe repeatable parts run on software from day one, so the hours go to the work that needs a person. On your payroll you set the hours, and you see who did what every month.
Continuous, learned from every fixThe person's pay goes to the person, through your own payroll. Our fees sit on their own lines, so you always see what goes to whom.
You set it and you pay it through your own payroll, like any employee. For scale: the median posted pay for a bookkeeper is $57,500 a year, from the 107,442 US finance job postings we analyzed.
Paid once, when you hire. Guaranteed for six months: a replacement from our network, or the fee back as credit against the agents fee.
The software agents on the routine work, set up for the software your posting names. Month to month.
We do the rest, from your posting to your first close, inside the month. Tick yours off as you go.
Nothing to pay until you pick someone. Your books stay in your own software the whole time.
Get candidates for this seatOne posting, two kinds of work. The agents take the work that has a right answer. Your hire takes the rest, and checks the agents.
Plus anything else you hand them. They are your employee, so the scope is open.
Try the person with the agents for a month. If it does not feel right, we buy back every hour they and the agents worked, and your other applicants are still there.
After the first month, a placement is guaranteed for six months: a replacement from our network, or the fee back as credit against the agents fee. Your choice.
Then we leave and you keep the person. The hire is yours, on your payroll, directed by you. A staffing firm cannot say that, because the person leaving is how it gets paid.
It should. As the agents take more of the routine work, you need fewer hours. Hand the person back in the six months after the first month and the whole placement fee comes back as credit against the agents fee.
The written version of every promise goes in the agreement you sign. Read every guarantee and its conditions.
Most owners know which one fits after two questions: do you want the person on your payroll, and do you want the bill to follow the hours down?
Pick this if you want an employee of your own.
Pick this if you want the seat filled without the payroll.
Already filled the seat? Put the person you hired on our agents, with no placement fee.
The worries that decide it, answered in writing.
You do. You hire them, you pay them, you direct them like any employee. We place them, supply the agents they work with and train them on it.
Yes, if it does not work out. If you do not like the person or pick someone else in the first month, you pay no placement fee. Your other applicants are still there, so you can pick again.
A placement is guaranteed for six months: a replacement from our network, or the fee back as credit against the agents fee. Either way the agents stay and the routine work keeps running, so nothing leaves with the person.
Your hire checks every agent result before it reaches you and owns the books. Anything that moves money waits for a person to approve it. In the first weeks your current process runs beside ours, so a mistake shows up in days, not at close. Your hire fixes it, and the agents learn from the fix.
Your hire owns the result and fixes it, with our team behind them on the calls that need experience. We go through what we cover, in writing, on the first call.
Yes. Your books stay in your own QuickBooks or Xero, so your CPA keeps their own login and sees every entry, including the ones the agents made. Every month you also get an hours report of who did what, which you can pass on.
They are your employee, so you set the hours, the same as any hire. They work with your team during your business day, in your tools.
You do. Your books live in your own software the whole time. We work through a user you create and can switch off in one click. We never ask for your password, and your data is never used to train anything. How your books are handled.
Switch off our user. The agents fee is month to month. The person is your employee, so they stay if you want them. Your books never left your software, so leaving is a handover, not a rescue.
Usually not. Bank feeds, bills, invoices and month-end all run remotely once someone has access to your software. Where part of the role really is physical, a local part-time person covers those hours. Check your posting.
The repeatable parts of the job: categorizing transactions, matching bank and card lines, chasing the documents a close is waiting on, flagging the exceptions a person needs to look at. They do the work rather than suggest it, and a person checks the result. The agents never make the judgment calls. The software we work in.
The person you pick, plus the people who check their work. Each one signs in with a second code on top of a password and works only inside your own software, and your data is encrypted when it moves and when it is stored.
